ChrisPBacon Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 It's pretty much no longer a surprise that CM Punk will be in Chicago Friday, so to improve viewership for Rampage, do you announce some sort of huge appearance without saying his name tonight, even a hint or just open or close rampage with him showing up? I wrestle with either option being the way to go. But, the cat is out of the bag, we all know it's happening, so how's about a teaser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) You know they are gonna sing that fucking song whether they know the words or not. Wouldn't be surprised one bit if a bunch of fans (or just AEW themselves) hand out lyric sheets even.

It always cracks me up when they get a shot of someone in the crowd during his entrance and they clearly don't know the words. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Please let this be the last of Jericho for a while. The Gage and Spears matches were fun but he's done for now. If they try to rematch these two at the ppv... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodear Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Chris Jericho vs MJF No Judas entrance and Jericho can't use the Judas Effect - Is this an opportunity for Fozzy to debut a new song!? OMG! Booking logic would say that Jericho should go over having gone through all the steps in order to get this match and blow off this awful, awful feud. MJF's stock seems lower than ever to me where they've already blown off this feud a couple of times and done a terrible job of building up anyone but Jericho who is the last person who needed it. World Tag Team Championship: The Young Bucks (c) vs Jurassic Express - Would be a pretty cold time to swap the belts but doesn't feel impossible since The Bucks have already beaten the JE a couple of times and they can't keep being gun shy with Jungle Boy forever. Texas Tornado Tag: Sting & Darby Allin vs 2.0 - Feels like such a waste of a Sting match to have them wipe out two lower card guys for the third week in a row. Sammy Guevara vs Shawn Spears - Spears has been quietly putting together a solid string. Sammy will probably go over and that's likely the correct call. And a "major announcement" from Sammy Thunder Rosa vs Penelope Ford - Feels like random match generator to me. Rosa will likely go over in a match that will be too long. Ricky Starks vs Brian Cage - Too soon to get this rematch or for Cage to get revenge unless they're moving on from Cage as the act that he's already been demoted to. I would like to see Team Taz to continue to roll and get away from Captain Beige as soon as possible. Britt Baker, D.M.D. in action - The heel who gets face reactions is fine as a character. They need an opponent for her toot sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) I’m Stoked to see the wonderful 2.0 unleash a beating on the Stinger. Or take one. Whatever, they’ll look great either way.

John from Cincinnati Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Update: AEW has removed both Starks vs Cage and Britt in action from its site. Unsurprising because they were getting zero push on social media. Edited August 18, 2021 by John from Cincinnati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I gotta think back on this but while I get they had to setup All Out there was WAY too much talking. Once Lambert started talking my interest in the episode went lower and lower as time went on (had nothing to do with what he was saying) At least the main had the correct outcome but I'm good with just moving on to Rampage.

Jiji Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Awesome first hour with three distinctly different big all great matches and a fun beatdown. Second hour not so much. But we are getting Miro vs. Eddie! Thought they'd save that for NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 I know CM Punk's return is pretty much a lock. But just in case they can't deliver, it's smart of them to have a back-up attraction announced. Couldn't be happier for Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) This run of TVs has been a bit of a scorcher. Even something I'm not so into like a Jericho-Max Friedman match finds a way to work. Kudos to Jericho for properly doing the honors.
